3.0.12-rt30-rc2

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.0.12-rt30-rc2.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too.

The difference between this and -rc1 was I fixed up the patches to add the changes, instead of removing them :)

I also added the missing commit:
KVM: fix XSAVE bit scanning (now properly)
That Thomas pointed out was missing.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the main release next on Wednesday (11/7/2011).

Enjoy,

-- Steve
